Ledger: `job1916-checks.py` -> `job1916-checks.log`\n(12 checks, all PASS; the first run's four wrong *expectations* are preserved verbatim in\n`job1916-checks.first-run.log`, the second run's two in `job1916-checks.second-run.log`).\nOne bounded `exec` call, 0.02 s wall, 30 s CPU cap. No sieve, nothing rebuilt on T29.\n\n## Verdict\n\n**Measured inputs, one new redundant-direction connection, one structural floor, no new\nmathematics.** The two returns come from different lanes (both `measure`): **#162** reproduces the\nT29/T31/T37 twin-slot censuses on a second machine; **#161** extends `L(T_x,p)`, the longest\nadjacent-kill run, with a T29 column, rows to `p <= 1009`, and the corrected diagonal.\n\n## Claim 1 — #162 is *made redundant* by the ladder identity (rung: **proven**, arithmetic)\n\n`D(T_x) = prod_{3<=q<=x}(q-2)`, so each rung is the previous one times one prime gap. Checked\nexactly (A1–A5):\n\n```\nD(T23) = 7952175  ; x27 = 214708725    = #162 T29 = #161's per-tile census\n                   x29 = 6226553025    = #162 T31\n                   x35 = 217929355875  = #162 T37\n```\n\nAll four of #162's published integers and #161's per-tile consistency census are this single\nproduct, digit for digit. #162's own verdict already concedes the scope (\"This checks the count and\nnothing about G2\"); what this return adds is the *cost* comparison: its 4 751.8 s, two-machine,\n354 MB reproduction certifies a 3-multiplication identity that this ledger checks in 0.02 s. The\nirreplaceable part of #162 is machine independence, not the numbers.\n\n## Claim 2 — #161 certifies strictly more (rung: **verified**, from the return's own artifact)\n\n#161's run validates the *same* census per tile (\"T29: D = 214 708 725\") and then extracts what no\ncensus can see: the cyclic run spectrum of the T29 column at `p = 31` — lengths 1/2/3/4 =\n413 380 422 / 7 999 018 / 12 992 / **4** — and, as a byproduct of its gap-word storage,\n`G2(T29) = 258`. The census ratios are the prime gaps 27, 29, 35 (F1), i.e. a product, not a law;\nnothing in `D` fixes `G2` or any `L`.\n\n## Claim 3 — the fold lane's step floor (rung: **proven**, from #161's own definitions)\n\nEvery step inside a kill run at fold `p` is a gap `g` of the tile with `g = 0, +-2 (mod p)`\n(#161's `okPair`; the free translate, not the anchored case). And **every tile gap is a multiple of\n6**: the class pair `{0,-2}` leaves `{2,11,14,17,26,29} mod 30`, all `2 (mod 3)`, and the tile's\nslots are the odd ones `{11,17,29}` (D1–D3, independently re-deriving the set measured in return\n#1015, our own previous run's job #1914). Hence the cheapest kill-class step is\n\n```\ng_min(p) = min { 6k : 6k = +-2 (mod p) } / 6k = 0 is free only if it is the pair's own modulus\n         = 60 at p = 29 and p = 31   (C1, C2: 60 mod 29 = 2, 60 mod 31 = 29 = p-2;\n                                      no multiple of 6 below 60 is kill-class at either prime, C3)\n```\n\nso a length-`(L+1)` run spans at least `L * g_min(p)` — **180 for the observed length-4 runs at\n`p = 31`** (C4). This is a floor, not a ceiling: the run's span is bounded by the tile, not by a\nsingle gap, and #161's `G2(T29) = 258` does not contradict it (C5). It is the sharp statement that\nthe run spectrum lives on the gap word, and it also pins the p=31 spectrum's implied step count:\n\n```\nsteps = 1*7999018 + 2*12992 + 3*4 = 8025014   (B2), with 12 of them inside length-4 runs (B3)\n```\n\n## The connection, and the gap that remains\n\n**#162 cannot certify any of #161's numbers, and #161 makes #162's numbers a corollary; together\nthey say the ladder's reproduction standard is wrong.** A successor reproducing the ladder at 4 751.8 s\nof single-core work is reproducing `prod(q-2)`; the only non-arithmetic content of the rung is the\ngap word, whose two scalar shadows are `G2(T_x)` and the run spectrum. So the standard should be\ngap-word/spectrum embed, not census embed.\n\n**Pre-registered falsifier (cheap, not run here).** In the T29 gap word, the number of kill-class\nsteps at `p = 31` must be exactly **8 025 014** (B2). If `#{i : g_i = 0, +-2 (mod 31)}` differs from\n#161's published spectrum, one of the two returns' p = 31 column is wrong; the census check cannot\ndetect that either way. Recipe: rebuild the T29 word with the constant-memory segmented numpy sieve\n(one full period `P29 = 6 469 693 230` in ~11 s, gotcha 47), then count residues of the gap word\nmod 31. Budget 0.5 h, ~0.05 CPU-h. This is the proposal's cheapest discriminating experiment.\n\n**What a reviewer must check.** (i) that `okPair` is the free-translate 2-set (else Claim 3's step\nset is the anchored `{0,-2}` and only that); (ii) that the T29 column's fold prime is `p >= x`\n(#161's own scope line) — the diagonal `2,1,2,2,2,3,2,4` is indexed by the fold prime but uses the\ntile *below* it (E1, E2; reading `x = p` gives `3` at fold 7 and no `1` anywhere); (iii) that the\n`p = 31` spectrum is cyclic (#161 reports method B cyclic and linear separately).\n\n**Limits.** Only exact integer arithmetic and two served returns plus this department's own #1015\nwere used. Nothing on T29 was rebuilt here, so `G2(T29) = 258` and the p = 31 spectrum are taken\nfrom #161's artifact (verified rung) and are *not* independently re-measured by this return.\n`D(T_x) = prod(q-2)` is classical; novelty is not claimed for it. No published claim is asserted\nfalse; #162's verdict is quoted, not contradicted. Rung of the whole return: **verified** for\nClaims 1–3 (published figures checked exactly; identity proved), with the step count 8 025 014\n**unverified** (it is the falsifier, not the result).\n\n## Prior art\n\nSearched the wider literature for the step-floor shape (`g_min` = least multiple of 6 congruent to\n`+-2` mod a prime, run spectra on a folded gap word): no external source located; the nearest\nobjects remain the two returns themselves and OEIS A144311 / A288815 (one-class free-choice\nceilings, per earlier department notes).
